General Cleaning
IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off
and the grill is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth
or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft,
lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
To avoid scratching the surface, do not use steel wool to clean
the grill.
To avoid damage from the weather, use a vinyl grill cover,
available from your local dealer.
STAINLESS STEEL
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to the stainless steel surface,
do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, cooktop
polishing creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths, paper towels or
cleaners that contain chlorine.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire grill is cool. Spills
may cause permanent discoloration.
Cleaning Method:
Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the
■
surface.
Stainless Steel Cleaner.
■
Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner.
■
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Glass cleaner to remove fingerprints.

PORCELAIN-COATED PARTS
To avoid chipping, do not bang porcelain covered parts with solid
objects or drop them.
Cleaning Method:
Non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive
■
cleanser.
GRILL GRATES
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a steel or fiber scraper on grill grates.
Immediately after you are finished cooking, loosen food soil with
a brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to HI for 10-15 minutes with
the hood closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise the
hood and let grates cool. Use the brass bristle brush to remove
ash from the grill grates.
When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough
cleaning. Clean them with a mild detergent and warm water.
For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 mL) ammonia
to 1 gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse
with water and dry completely.
WARMING SHELF
Cleaning Method:
Liquid detergent or an all-purpose cleaner.
■
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

EXTERIOR
IMPORTANT:
Make sure gas supply is off and all control knobs
are in the OFF position. Make sure the side burner is cool.
The quality of this material resists most stains and pitting,
providing that the surface is kept clean, covered, and polished.
Apply stainless steel polish to all brushed stainless steel non-
■
cooking surfaces before first use. Re-apply after each cleaning
to avoid permanent damage to surface.
For tough spots or baked-on grease, use a commercial
■
degreaser designed for stainless steel.
Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with clean
■
warm water.
Wipe the surface completely dry with a soft cloth.
■
Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner for all powder coated
■
surfaces.
INTERIOR
Discoloration of stainless steel on these parts is to be expected,
due to intense heat from the burners. Always rub in the direction
of the grain. Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with
clean, warm water.

■
difficult-to-clean areas, use a commercial degreaser designed
